Hi everyone, thanks for checking out Clearwater Beach with us! Do you have plans to visit Clearwater Beach? If so, when are you visiting and what are you most excited for?! (There is an error in price at Ryan's, the eggs Benedict were around $12 or $13.)

[@BrianBrick-uo3xi]

🦅🌊✝️🙏☘️

[@DenaJeanne]

Headed from Michigan to Clearwater for a week in April! Looking forward to the Fresh Seafood and the Beaches.

[@missdizziest]

Staying in Historic Kenwood in St Pete in May....so would be rude not to visit 😁. Looking forward to waving at the live Camera above Frenchys 😂🤣😂, then some food.

[@Explorcation]

@@DenaJeanne we hope you have a great time in April!

[@Explorcation]

@@missdizziest May is going to be here before you know it 😁mmmm thinking of Frenchy's makes me hungry 😆

[@clivebuckenham9744]

Hi Guys - A big thank you because you just gave us a terrific 2 days at Clearwater Beach. We visited Ryan’s, Rockaway Grill, the Bait House, Bar Tiki and the Iguana Bar. We also did the Sea Screamer and had dolphins jumping through the wake of the boat. Of course, we finished each day watching the sunset from Pier 60 as the dolphins swam below us. Would we have done any of these things without your vlog? Probably not. It was a great way to finish our Florida Roadtrip (Key West, South Beach, St Augustine, Orlando, Clearwater Beach). We did sneak in a couple of hours at Honeymoon Island before flying out of Tampa. Bald Eagles!!! Many, many thanks - Sue & Clive xx

[@Explorcation]

Wow thank you so much for taking the time to write this thoughtful post, Clive. We're so happy our video helped you to make the most out of your time in Clearwater! Glad to hear you made it over to Honeymoon Island too, it's a beautiful place.

[@elizabethlibby2248]

I grew up on Clearwater Beach and I gotta say that you hit the nail on the head! I do lots of the things you itemized, Frenchy's is my very first stop, OR Pier Pavillion, (not there for the food but for the drinks, the beach front vibe and the music) this is just a few dozen steps away from Frenchy's. Great job sharing a real view of Clearwater...Of course there are dozens more with in a mile radias but including everything would take the fun out of exploring for yourself.

[@Explorcation]

Thank you so much for the kind comments, Elizabeth! It means a lot coming from someone who grew up there!

[@deborahscoza1443]

Your videos are the best! The amount of information you give is great and delivery is always entertaining!

We definitely prefer quieter beaches, but love that Clearwater has options for both types of people. You really did get lucky with that sunset cruise. What an incredible sunset and dinner looked excellent as well!

[@Explorcation]

We really did luck out! And yes Clearwater Beach is great for all types of beach lovers!

[@andreabennett3985]

When the birds out number the tourists..that’s a perfect beach day to me😊

[@Explorcation]

Couldn't agree more. Thanks for watching, Andrea!

[@jonnyvegas5041]

We went to Ryan's for breakfast twice after seeing your recommendation. Excellent!

[@Explorcation]

Awesome. Glad to hear you enjoy it as much as we do!

[@LittleMew133]

I love how you guys down like 2 liquor-y drinks before getting on an open bar boat. All that before noon lol

[@Explorcation]

You can't drink all day if you don't start before noon! 😂

[@blumenmaedchen115]

Very interesting and good video 👍 Thank you for sharing

[@Explorcation]

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@mattiethesurfer]

Cool video! I live in Clearwater and would recommend the breakfast/brunch place called Speggtacular on the south end of the barrier island. Also, on Fridays the Pier 60 can be super crowded and nutzo. A quick drive south can take one to Indian Rocks Beach, which is more local, yet beachy and quaint.

[@Explorcation]

Thanks, Mattie. Not the first recommendation we've received for Speggtacular. We'll give it a try next time we're in CWB. And yeah, good recommendation on IRB. One of our favorites.

[@BobCarlson]

On my last visit I specifically went for the sea screamer only to find it in dry dock. After a moment of disappointment we went for the dolphin boat ride then spent the whole day exploring the beach. way more time than we planned and not disappointing at all.

[@Explorcation]

It's hard to have a bad day in Clearwater Beach! We're glad you enjoyed yourself despite not getting to experience the Sea Screamer.

[@BeingBedingfield]

I love everything about Clearwater 😭😍 It really has something for everyone. The beach is my favourite, and the tiki bar on the beach…🤩 I really like how it can be super busy with markets etc, but on other days it’s nice and quiet. The sunset cruise looked amazing and so peaceful, love the views and how cool that there’s even a dance floor 🤗

[@Explorcation]

It really does have something for everyone and all within just a few blocks of each other too. Of course traffic is a nightmare, but if u aren't driving it's great!

[@greg33770]

Exceptionally done ! Even for a local like myself, it's very helpful and informational ! Thanks !👍

[@Explorcation]

Thanks for the encouraging comment, Greg!!

[@ScullyPopASMR]

What a spectacular feature video about Clearwater.

[@Explorcation]

Thanks so much, Scully. We were long overdue for making a Clearwater Beach travel guide video and we're so happy that it's been receiving a positive response!

[@MehdiSyed456]

Amazing video editing skills. I have said "amazing and stunning" at least a dozen times watch this video, how the video zooms in on a shack or ice cream bar but zooms in on multiple different shacks and multiple different ice cream flavors, but from the same angle. Simply amazing!!

[@Explorcation]

Wow thank you so much! We spend a LOT of time editing these videos and it's always nice to hear when someone notices!

[@mingo2024]

Frenchie's Rock-a-way has the best blackened Grouper on the beach! Yummmm!

[@Explorcation]

No argument here! Thanks for watching.

[@billyyandle1947]

Y'all sure are lucky to have those gorgeous sunsets to enjoy!!!

[@Explorcation]

We really have been lucking out lately. We were really hoping for a good one on that cruise and it sure did deliver!

[@Eeeekamouse]

That sunset cruise and dinner looked amazing!!

[@Explorcation]

It was pretty spectacular!!

[@BransonFamVlog]

We are definitely a family that enjoys the more quiet places on the beach, but we enjoy being able to be within bike ride distance to activities and restaurants. It’s awesome that so many small beach towns are so close together in that Clearwater area!

[@Explorcation]

We are the same. We love to be close to the action, but want to be somewhere chill more often than not. CW Beach definitely provides that option!

[@DenaJeanne]

Love your dresses on your adventures, so beautiful, the wrap dress was so perfection. Cannot wait to explore Clearwater in April. We travel with our small dog so can't go everywhere, but thankfully you cover so many pet friendly things to do in the area we are thankful we have so many options with our "kid"!

[@Explorcation]

Oh thank you so much. Dena! We are sure you and your dog will have a great time in Clearwater Beach! If your dog likes the beach, North Beach on CW Beach does allow them on a leash!

[@rhondalyn100]

Another lovely escape from this chilly February middle Tennessee morning! I always take notes from your fun tours so when I visit the area I will go to Ryan's for the Eggs Benedict and that yummy looking Bloody Mary! I will also def visit the Baithouse for some of that old Florida charm and Drunken Shrimp! I can't wait to walk the beach with a tiki bar cocktail in my hand! As always, y'all knocked it out of the park with this exceptionally fun tour of Clearwater Beach. Thanks, guys! 🙂

[@Explorcation]

You might get ticketed/fined if you try to walk the beach with a cocktail (I don't think alcohol is allowed outside of designated hotel areas in CWB). But other than that, your plan sounds amazing!!! Thanks for all the support, Rhonda!

[@user-ot2do4dp5z]

You're video tour was amazing! Thank you so much for the tips!!

[@doobyboy21]

MY God the Sea Screamer... IT use to be way smaller than this one ! We couldnt get up and he was pushing it so hard the front of the boat was lifting up in the air and all I remember was hold on to your hats or they will fly off ! It was one hell of a thrill ! Still have the pictures at my dads house ! We where there back in 1993 ! Going back this year with my own family !

[@Explorcation]

That Sea Screamer experience sounds much more intense 😁thanks so much for watching, we hope you have a great time when you come back to visit!

[@patrickcolburn7089]

Skylar and Jamie TY so much for your videos. My family just got back from Clearwater Beach and we also drove to SK. We followed all your suggestions. Ryan’s was amazing. I am a native Long Islander and finding a place that can pull off a great bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich is very hard. Frenchys was amazing . Kids loved Meaneys donuts. SKOB was unreal. Tommy’s Tiki and the Bait house were super cool and yes that drunken shrimp was ridiculous. Again, thanks so much. You guys should shoot a video at Sandpearl. Such a great resort. Cheers!!

[@Explorcation]

Wow thank you so much for this incredibly encouraging comment, Patrick! It makes us so happy to know that our channel was able to help you and your family make the most of your vacation! If the folks at Sandpearl ever want to host us, we would absolutely love to make a video on it. Maybe one of these days!

[@johnmuffler1695]

Always love your videos! You guys should do a Dunedin / Palm Harbor one! I definitely have a bunch of recommendations lol

[@Explorcation]

We actually have done videos on both, although our Dunedin video was done a long time ago and we didn't have nearly enough time there. We will probably make a new Dunedin video someday!

[@genehinders9769]

Repeat view of this episode today... The Baithouse Drunken Shrimp are amazing! I really liked the Keylime Cider Beer as well! Planning our next trip down and your coverage of the area have been so informative and entertaining!

[@Explorcation]

We actually got the drunken shrimp recommendation from Captain Phil, who took us on the island boat tour in one of our prior videos. We've gone back for it a couple of times since then. It's so good! Next time we'll try that Keylime Cider!

It is my 50th birthday in May so maybe the celebration package if it's not too expensive.

You guys are just fun to watch. Great reviews! My wife and I love Clearwater beach. We'll be back down from KY in October and this trip will be our 3rd time back in the past year. Staying at the Sandpearl. Fell in love with this resort when we stayed on a previous anniversary trip. A lot of your suggestions are ones we would give as well. We are looking for a sunset cruise this time around and will definitely check out Starship! The buffet looks awesome! Skyler, always go for the meat and potatoes instead of dessert! 🤣 I'm right there with you. Jamie, your voice is easy to listen to, which makes these reviews even more enjoyable to watch. That does make a difference in these videos! Thanks for posting.

Thanks so much, James! Wow, three times in a year? You guys really do love CW Beach! We can't blame you... there's so much to do and the area is so compact and walkable. We hope you are able to book a cruise this time and have as good of an experience as we did on ours!

[@James_Russell]

For those that are flying in, this is just the perfect set-up. We fly in to Tampa/St Pete, catch an Uber to the resort and then just walk to everything. Restaurants, shops, nightlife, everything is right there. That's what sets Clearwater beach apart from other places for us. We love Ryan's Island Cafe. You guys have probably already checked this other place out for breakfast/brunch but if not, "Another broken egg cafe" on the north side is great! Hash brown benedict and cinnamon roll french toast and the pitchers of mimosas (Lemon Blueberry!) Thanks again, guys. The past several years, we always flew to Destin but this past year has been great down at Clearwater. Looking forward to trying out other places on the gulf coast and will definitely continue to watch your channel. @@Explorcation Edit: We are hoping to walk to Caladesi Island from the north side. I believe I heard you mention you guys did a video on that? Will need to check that out, too. :)

We're glad you had such a great experience at Ryan's, Peter! We hope that the Bait House proves to be a good recommendation as well. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

I love the original Frenchy's off of gulf blvd the best burgers and grouper sandwich also some killer oysters

[@thathodgepodgeguy7156]

oh and you have to try their deep fried oreo's you wont be disappointed

[@Explorcation]

Oh that sounds extremely unhealthy and delicious. I'm in!

[@Explorcation]

We have yet to visit the OG Frenchy's, but next time we're in town we are gonna have to!

[@MissaLifeStyle]

Last visit we ate at Roundabout Pizza off Causeway Blvd. It was sooo good.

[@Explorcation]

We'll have to keep that in mind for next time we visit. Thanks for watching!

[@afogwhat]

If Frenchy's is ever too booked or crowded, I would recommend the Palm Pavilion about a block north as an alternative! Excellent food and service and very nice bungalow atmosphere right on the beach.

[@Explorcation]

That's a great recommendation. We ate there a few years back and really enjoyed it. Yes, great food and awesome location right on the beach!

[@bauhaus1000_PoetryinMotion]

WOW, what a great tour! I am heading that way in a few months, so thanks for the scoop. Very Cool! Thank you for sharing this spectacular video. Liked and SUBBED!

[@Explorcation]

Thank you so much for the encouraging feedback and for the sub! We hope the video helps you make the most of your time in CWB in a few months!

Will be there this weekend, food and drinks 🍺

We hope you guys had a great time!

[@longnguyen6999]

I love Clearwater during March to August, beautiful water (green or turquois) and especially "no wave" on this side of Gulf of Mexico. It would be bad for surfing lovers. It's windy from Dec to Feb and water isn't that nice. However, I still love Clearwater and Dunedin. Thank you for the beautiful and fun video.

[@Explorcation]

Very true. Rarely good surfing conditions in Clearwater Beach.

[@anthonyvalenti9093]

Well, my wife and I hope to be there between 5/3-5/6. Your tour convinced us!!!!! We might try some apartment hunting.

[@Explorcation]

We're so happy that our video convinced you to visit! There are lots of beautiful apartment complexes around there to visit. We absolutely loved the experience of apartment hunting in St Pete when we first decided to move here. It was such an exciting time!

[@genehinders9769]

Haven't been to Shepard's...thanks for the tip

[@Explorcation]

Our pleasure. It's an amazing place to watch live music!

Heading down from WV end of October to see our daughter, can’t wait 😜

[@Explorcation]

Awesome! That will be here before you know it. Late October is a really great time of year to visit too!

[@donbraham411]

Can’t wait

[@billyc3757]

EXCELLENT, detailed video. Food looked amazing! As a tequila fan the shot looked really good. If Skylar likes the heat I recommend (Can I say this? Not trying to promote brands on your channel) )Tanteo Habanero Tequila. Great recommendations for Clearwater. Been there a few times in my younger days. Again, I found your video very detailed. Great work!

[@Explorcation]

I will absolutely keep an eye out for that tequila! Thanks so much for watching and for the recommendation!

[@genehinders9769]

Keylime Cider Beer! At the Baithouse!

[@Explorcation]

Sounds delicious!

[@genehinders9769]

Haven't done the SeaScreemer yet....the Pirate Ship and MegaBite were fun!

[@Explorcation]

We have yet to do MegaBite but that will probably be our next boat tour!

[@darrellsubera133]

We stay at the twin pink condos gulf side!!

[@Explorcation]

Nice! That's a great area, Darrell.

[@big3fan916]

When we come down in August , we'll go too Frenchy's , Palm Pavilion , Clear Sky , Ride Little Toot and we will go to Tarpon Springs and eat at Hellas , also planing on going down to Fort Desoto this trip down .

[@Explorcation]

Sounds like a pretty epic vacation! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@genehinders9769]

Ryan's Island is a great spot!

[@Explorcation]

We love that place!

[@genehinders9769]

Rockaway, Saltwater Cafe, SouthBeach Cafe, and the Original Frenchy's all within walking distance from Pier60

They are! It's pretty amazing to have so many great spots so close together!

Hi, what are the LEAST BUSY days & times to tour Clearwater and St Pete's? thanks!!

[@Explorcation]

Hurricane season (and when kids are in school) tends to be the least busy time of year from our experience. We really love September and October. Mid-week is usually the least busy time of the week.

[@genehinders9769]

We head down in mid to late January and always have a great time. It may be a little cool for some but we're from Iowa and its a great time for us to get down there.

[@Explorcation]

@@genehinders9769 it sure is nice to not have to deal with the humidity that time of year too!

[@galaxyguy8033]

Love your vids ⛱️ do you have to rent those chairs and umbrellas that are already on the beach or 1st come 1st serve?? Thx!!

[@Explorcation]

Thank you so much for watching! You do have to rent the chairs and umbrellas on the beach 🏖

[@MattMcAllisterArt]

Nice to see my mural in your intro 😊

[@Explorcation]

Thanks for taking the time to comment, Matt! We've captured a LOT of murals in our videos, but you're the first artist who's ever taken the time to comment!

[@MattMcAllisterArt]

@Explorcation Awesome. Well I appreciate seeing it in videos. Once a month I check youtube for it and rarely does it get seen. But intros to clearwater beach videos are for sure it's best purpose. 👌

[@Explorcation]

@@MattMcAllisterArt we agree, I think it is one of the first things that stands out when arriving to Clearwater Beach! Thank you so much for commenting - we were able to tag your channel in the video description.

Love your channel. I have watched many your videos, love this video and would love to visit Clearwater beach, just wondering the PARKING ？I am planing a one day trip.

We're so happy to hear that you are enjoying our channel! There are many lots in Clearwater, many of which I discussed in this video. I hope it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWLZoWqKabGbhrssi=BKpk6TZT8EaRQSqG

Thank you so much for your great videos, I have visited Clearwater beach and Madeira beach/John’s pass yesterday (1st day of 2024😃), it is beautiful, and thanks for all the informative videos. It Really helps.🌺

[@joanconn107]

Great video. Where did you stay when you did this video as it looks like you are walking easily to many places along the beachfront. Or where would you suggest to stay?

[@Explorcation]

Thank you so much for watching. We parked in a lot along the causeway and rode our electric scooters to the beach. We've not stayed many places on Clearwater Beach since we live so close. We've heard great things from several people who stayed at Opal Sands but there are a lot of options. I'd say it depends on if you want to be right on the beach (or a block or so away) and if you want to be by the pier area, north or south.

[@anthonyvalenti9093]

Wow!!!!!!!! Nothing like this in Jacksonville.

Yeah CW Beach is one of a kind. Thanks for watching!

I love going to clearwater even though i live like 2 hours away but they need add more parking garages for people to park

[@Explorcation]

The parking is definitely an issue, as well as the traffic. Once you get to your destination (and parked) it's great. And thankfully everything is so compact you can pretty much walk everywhere!
